Feedlounge: Sh*tFanned

Another RSS reader comes unstuck: Feedlounge, launched sometime in 2005 with a speedy AJAX interface and the nerve to actually charge users for the service, has announced that it will close on June 1st, 2007. The main problem appears to be the developer's lack of time and dedication to more import things like family issues.

I think it's unambitious to declare failure: Feedlounge is still a solid product, and I'm sure they can flip it for at least tens of thousands of dollars, and more if they have good user numbers. One thing we've learned this time round is that the market is efficient enough to do some recycling: I'm pretty sure someone will pick up the reigns.
